7-170BWBK | 16mm Black Building Wire 20M Cable Cut
The 16BW-B20 is a 16mm² single-core black building wire, supplied in a 20 metre cut — ideal when 10m isn’t quite enough but a full 100m roll isn’t required. Commonly used in fixed wiring applications such as submains and high-load circuits, it’s suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial installs.
Made with a stranded copper conductor and durable PVC insulation, this cable is flexible and easy to install in conduit or other protected cable routes. Stock is typically supplied by Electra or Prysmian, with Apec, Advance Cables, or Olex used occasionally based on availability — all fully AS/NZS compliant.
